We conduct a thorough assessment to determine if ambulatory detox is clinically appropriate for your needs.

Admission Requirements:
We work with most insurance plans and will verify your benefits before admission. Our team handles all authorizations and paperwork to make your transition as smooth as possible.
Outpatient detox can be clinically appropriate for withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants, depending on the severity of use. Our medical team assesses each client individually to determine which substances and withdrawal patterns can be safely managed in an outpatient setting.
Not every substance requires inpatient detox. Our team will help you understand your options and determine the safest level of care for your specific situation.
Detox alone is not a complete treatment for substance use disorder — it is the foundation. At San Diego Transformation Center, clients who complete outpatient detox have direct access to our PHP, IOP, and OP programs for continued recovery support.
This seamless step-down model means you never face a gap in care. Your clinical team coordinates the transition to ensure your momentum and motivation are maintained.
Not everyone requires a residential stay to safely detox. Outpatient detox is appropriate for individuals who are medically stable, have a supportive home environment, and are motivated to engage in daily monitoring.
Inpatient detox provides around-the-clock supervision and is better suited for those with severe withdrawal risk, unstable housing, or complex medical needs. Our clinical team conducts a thorough assessment to determine the safest level of care for your situation.
Many individuals entering outpatient detox also live with co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. San Diego Transformation Center is equipped to address both substance use and mental health needs simultaneously.
Our integrated approach ensures that psychiatric symptoms are assessed and supported from the very start of treatment.
Most major insurance plans cover medically supervised outpatient detox when it is clinically indicated. San Diego Transformation Center works with most insurance providers and will verify your benefits before your first appointment.
